So You Want To Steal A Motorcycle Huh?

[spydaman60]

We just had a home invasion case in Ohio where the intruder used gun once they entered the home. He stole some things while holding the occupant at bay with the weapon. When the gunman fled, the occupant retrieved a weapon and shot the robber who at this point was outside the home fleeing. Guess what? Occupant was indicted. It was determined at that point the threat had subsided and he used "excessive" force in restraining the robber. In Ohio, you can defend yourself in your home, but once they leave, I guess you can't chase them down.

There was also speculation that because the occupant was criminally charged, it stregthened the robber's argument to sue for medical expenses and pain/suffering.

same thing happened in nj three or four years ago! same :cus:ty outcome. go figure!

I hate to say it; but it does make sense... :shocked:
It's perfectly understandable to shoot the :cus: if they threaten you or others with bodily harm...
But property; not so much! :gaah:
The solution: don't let them get back out the door!
:shocked: Uhhh... :joke:
